TL;DR: The development of a simple, widely applicable antioxidant capacity index for dietary polyphenols and vitamins C and E is reported, utilizing the copper(II)-neocuproine [Cu(II-Nc] reagent as the chromogenic oxidizing agent.

TL;DR: This review intends to offer a critical evaluation of existing antioxidant assays applied to phenolics, and reports the development of a simple and low-cost antioxidant capacity assay for dietary polyphenols, vitamins C and E, and human serum antioxidants, which is named the CUPRAC (cupric ion reducing antioxidant capacity) method.

TL;DR: The CUPRAC (cupric reducing antioxidant capacity) method as discussed by the authors is a simple and versatile antioxidant capacity assay for dietary polyphenols, vitamin C and vitamin E utilizing the copper (II)-neocuproine (Cu(II)-Nc) reagent as the chromogenic oxidant.

TL;DR: This review presents and classify the widely used analytical approaches for evaluating antioxidant capacity/activity and critically evaluates ET-based methods for analytical, food chemical, biomedical/clinical, and environmental scientific communities so that they can effectively use these assays in the correct places to meet their needs.

TL;DR: This project will aid the identification and quantification of properties and mutual effects of antioxidants, bring a more rational basis to the classification of antioxidant assays with their constraints and challenges, and make the results more comparable and understandable.
